Sounds Fly: Music Writing

By Steven James Pratt

"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture"-Martin MullSounds Fly, 21 slices of writing about music and musicians by an artist and musician, collects together poems, essays, liner notes, and reviews about his friends and collaborators-a rare selection of underground non-fiction that informs and delights at once.With the returning theme of music and language, Fly fishes for examples within the works of the musician Sun Ra, poet activist John Sinclair, philosopher writer Robert Anton Wilson, and other literary figures such as James Joyce and Charles Olson. Sounds Fly weaves together ideas picked up from works of modernism with writings about, and inside of, music.
